Correct Answer:
Crime is a definition of human conduct created by authorized agents in a politically organized society; criminal definitions describ behaviors that conflict with the interests of segments of society that have power to shape public policy; criminal definitions are applied by segments of society that have power to shape the enforcement and administration of criminal law; behavior patterns are structured in segmentally organized society in relation to criminal definitions, and within this context persons engage in actions that have relative probabilities of being defined as criminal; conceptions of crime are constructed and diffused in the segments of society by various means of communication; and the social reality of crime is constructed by the formulation and application of criminal definitions, the development of behavior patterns related to criminal definitions, and the construction of criminal conceptions.
